Set the Prisoners to work.

The commitments to the Almshouse have
been unusually numerous lately. A large
share of the causes is due to the alcoholic
habit.
There are some instances, the writer has
noticed, which are simply impositons, mad
voidIble of course as far as the police judge
goes, but still for which there is, or might
be provided, remedy were there proper or
suitable enactments TO that end.
A certain number of men, whose names
are well known to the police and to the prs-
oners deck in the police court, ore continu
ally arrested for debauchery, and next morn
ing are sent off to New Castle,to get straigh
ened, up as they call it.
What would be best for these sots would
be an arrangement by which the commit
ting judge had Ipower to set them to labor.
By this means they might make some re-
turn to the State for the bestowed on them
Why should they not be set saving or break
ing stone There is nothing indignified in
the idea or should not be, in State where
the whipping just is a revered institution
The drunkard is usually a lazy man and his
drunkenness is after result of his ideness.
Enforced labor might perhaps work cure
of the alcoholic crime in some of the cases
There is nothing they hate more than work.
This species of punishment would be hailed
with delight by many of the unfortunate
wives of the inebriates. Why should not an
enclosure be made in the yard at the rear OF
the City Hall where the uncorrigible drunk
ards instead of being sent at the county IS
expense to New Castle might be set to work
nere to pay for their support.

The present liking for house or "at homen
weddings has led to the giving, by The Art
Interchange, of some timely information on
the most suitable and convenient way to con
duct them. Among other points, il the
house contains two large parlors, one is
generally closed at first and the guests re-
ceived by the lady of the house in the parlor
nearest the front door, As the relatives of
the bride and groom enter they are invited to
pass into the room which has been reserved
for them, while friends and general acquaint-
ances assemble in the front room.
After the guests are assembled, the mother
of the bride may join the bridal procession or
else take her place in the inner room. The
latter is more generally the custom. Before
the bride comes down stairs, the ushers -four
or SKI provide themselves with rod six feet
long covered with flowers and ribbons.
Holding the ends of the rod in one hand and
the ribbons in the other two ushers clear
way through the front parlor, open the doors
between the rooms and walk on till a space is
cleared for the bridal party. Other ushers
follow them, holding the ribbon, and station
themselves at proper intervals so that the
crowd may not press back again into the lane
thus formed. The long rod may then be laid
aside. The bride, leaning on her fathers
arm, may enter the room, either followed or
preceded by her maids; or the groom may
enter first with her mother and the party
walk to the space provided for them, where
the clergyman should be standing in readi-
ness to marry them. The ribbons should hs
held III place during the ceremony.

Daily Trips to Cape May.

The steamer ''Republic" has COM
menced her regular trips to Cape
May for the season of 1887. The train will
leave the station of the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad, foot of French and
Water streets, during the week at LAO and
on Sundays at $50 O'Clock, connecting at
the pier on the Delaware river with the
steamer "Republc." The train will be in
waiting for the return of the steamer.
For rest and recuperation we can suggest
nothing more advantageous than trip to
Cape May. No dust, no excitement, no vi
tiated atmosphere to mar the joyousness Of
the occasion.

Of adventure that surpasses it," That seems
to be the popular verdict. Everybody is
reading it or talking about it. OF course
there are no end of editions published, from
cloth bound at 81 80 to the Seaside library
edition at 90 cents. And, rs might be ex-
pected, the cheapest of all is the Literary
RepOlutioR edition which in large type, un-
abridged, sells for ) cent S in paper covers, or
90 cents in cloth binding. Specimen chap

The Hottest Day.

There is little doubt but that Saturday
last was the hottest day this generation has
experienced Exact information and data is
being the hottest day of the last 30 or 40
years, as has been stated in different direc
tions. When putting the fact on record it
should be added as a meteorological fact that
the weather was not sultry. breeze has
been blowing more or less throughout the
whole Of the warm spell. Although very
warm the weather was not altogether insup-
portable. 1t has been much more unplcas-
ant with the Thermometer full ten degrees

The Bourbon Mystery.

The strange historical sensation refened
to editorially in EUery EUsHiag Tuesday last
is undoubtedly extremely interesting Under
any circumstances the escape Of the dauphin
might be readily understood to have trans
pired as even among the Partisan rabble
there was every probability of some repent
ant or loyal citizen brave enough to success
ful essay the smuggling off the Kings son
from the Temple.
But the real sensation is the official death
registration which bears all the appearance
Of genuineness. 1t is as follows:
"Died on 10th August at No So Oude-st.,
Delft, Charles Louis de Bourbon, Due Of
Normandie GLcnis XVII), known by { e
name Charles William Nauendorf, born at
the Chateau of Versailles in France on the
9th March, 1885, aged therefore 60 years;
son Of His late Majesty Louis XVI, King Of
France, and Of Her Imperial and Royal
Highness Marie Autoinette, Archduchess Of
Austria, Queen of France, both of them de-
ceased at Paris; and husband Of Madame Ia
Duchess de Normandie, nee Jeanie Einert.
(Sgned) Daniel van Koetsveld, Government
Registrar for the District of Delft"
In the above tatemeut the yea, date is
omitted. That Goes not initiate necessary
against the record as it WAS probably taken
in regular course FROM the book annals of
the year 1915, and would NOT If necessity
bear more than the month date as it fol-
lowed other rogistries of the same year.
a most remarkable and perhaps equally
valuable historical point is that referred TO
when in 1916 the French government in a
spirit of remorse proposed the erection of a
chapel to the memory of the royal martyrs
when Pope Plus VII declared that he could
not for one moment sanction such a sacri
ligious comedy as the Offering Of prayers for
the dead on behalf OF living person.
So the exriatory chapel was dedicated only
to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. 1t ap-
pears also that King Louis XVIII was never
crowned simply because the clerical part of
the Performance would have been discoun-
tenanced bJ the Pope for a similar reason,
he believing that Marie Autoinette's son
lived. Louis the XVIII died uncrowned a
tact which strongly supports the Nauendorff
iGea.

article on what sort of boy George Wash
ington was, with another hatchet story as
good as the cherry tree story-and more
human.

other story-tellers stop to take breath as they
can.
There is more of what goes on inside of a

story of animals and their animal friends.

b1ilding by the Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company will be launched with the usual
ceremonies.
The John w. Garrett, for so the new boat
will be named, is the longest boat which has
ever been constructed in this neighborhood
and additional precautions will no doubt be
exercised at her launch.
Her dimensions are: Length over all ou
deck, 3G6 feet; breadth of beam amidship,
Al feet; from outside to outside of guards at
widest place, ~ feet depth, 10 feet, :
inches.

THE FORTUNES OF WORDS by Federico
Garlanda, Pm. d., author of "The Philoso-
ply of Words, Is one of those delightful
little books found so attractive since
Trench on Words first appeared. 1t is
attractive to the degree of fascination. Take
any page haphazard-on poge 15 1--WE speak
of studious boy as a good pupil, and we
speak of the pupil of the eye. Is there any
connection between these two words? Yes;
they are the very same word pHpus which
means little boy, child, 0eminne pupa,
litTle girl, doll, puppet). From papuS
the dminutive pupillus is derived, from
which our pupii, a boy, scholar, and pupil
of the eye, that is the little image or pic
which we see in the centre Of our eyes"
The book is replete with such illustrations;
all Of them full Of meat for the pathological

The type is excellent and clear. The
book is received from A. Lowell Il Co., pub

An observer down South says and alliga-

which lodges in hig open mouth goes down.
He is lazy dog, sand instead of hunting
for something to eat, he lets his victuas
hunt for him, That is he lies with his great
mouth open, apparently dead, like the pos
sum. Soon bug crawls into it, then fly,
then several gnats, and a coIoasy of mosqui-
toes. The alligator doesn' close his mouth
yet He is waiting for a whole drove of
things. He does is eating by wholesale. A
little later lizard will cool himself under
the shade of the upper jaw. Then few
frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats will light
on the frogs. Finally whole village of in
sects and reptiles settle down for an after

Thirst in Infants.

Now that warm weather prevails it should
be remembered that infants require water to
drink as well as milk. 1t does not follow that
because milk is a liquid it is capable of satisfy
ing thirst. On the contrary, according to
Popular Science News, being warm as it is
drawn from the breast, it causes thirst after
it has remained in the stomach for some time,
the same as other food, 1t is this sense of
thirst which causes healthy, breast nourished
infants to often cry for long periods of time
after freely nursing 1t is claimed that there
are many cases of indigestion due to INSULT

Diet for Complaints Incident to Il
Season and Other Timely Topics.

Diet for Complaints Incident to the
Season and Other Timely Topics.
In cases Of summer complaints prepared
flour is not only the safest form of nourish-
ment, hut if the disease is in its first stage
this diet will often relieve it so etfectually as
to preclude the use of medicine Flour for
this use is prepared by tying about pint of
it very tightly in cloth, which is then put
into boiling water and boiled three hours.
Upon untying it, the gluten of the -four will
be found III a mass on the outside of the ball.
Remove this and the inside will prove dry
powder which is very astringent. Crate this
and wet portion of it in cold milk. Boil
pint Of milk, and when it rs at the boiling
point stir in as much of the wet mixture as
will thiclen it to the quality Of palatable
porridge. Stir in a little salt and let this be
the article of diet until the disease disap-
pears. Mutton BROTH which is also very
ashingent, may sometimes be advantage
ously used to afford little change of food.
A small quantity of wild cherry brandy,
very little tea, thoroughly boiled rice, beef
juice and toast also figure in the usually
accepted dietary for complaints incident to
summer.
